Just got referred for IVF

[sheri76]

Stinas so sorry you got bfn & so glad you have some frosties. Take care & enjoy the rest from ivf.

Aleja how's your 2ww going?

 

[aleja]

hey ladies,
Stinas I just noticed your BFN news. I am sorry to hear that darl. What a disappointment this journey sometimes is. I totally agree with having a break from the meds as you will feel so much better by the time Oct comes around.

I got a BFN too with my FET #1
I was very upset of course but I also had the worst PMS so I kind of expected the witch to ruin my party. And she hasn't even turned up yet as my progesterone levels still too high .
I was really hopeful about these frozen cycles but now I don't know anymore. I know I am lucky that I have 3 more embies but maybe I should just bypass them and go to another stim cycle. Ahhhh it sux

Hi ladies

Aleja so sorry to read your FET was bfn, it's just not fair! Hope the Pms eases up, I found it worse after my failed FET's

Stinas how are you?

 

[Stinas]

aleja - Im sorry about your BFN also! It does truly suck.

Sheri - I am doing well....just hanging around trying to relax. AF came sat full blown, med sunday and have been spotting since monday....i was hoping it would finish by now, but whatever. lol How are you feeling?

 

[sheri76]

Stinas Glad to hear your trying to relax, I really enjoyed the "normal" life between my cycles with the odd drink & eating things I knew I couldn't after ET.

Aleja hope your hanging in there? I lost faith in the FET's & was just going through the motions & almost cancelled this cycle & there was my bfp when I least expected it. If only ivf came with a guarantee!

I'm just starting to feel good again, nausea has almost gone & my appetite has come back in full force! Had my 12 week scan & all is looking good, no further tests for downs needed. Will post a pic soon, I'm not sure how to put a pic up the spoiler way & didn't feel right putting one up after the bfn's...

 

[noasaint]

How's everyone doing? Any exciting plans for the holiday weekend?

Sheri, glad you're feeling better and that the 12w checkup went well. Did you already get your blood results back or did they not draw blood?

My ms has actually just started but it's random and not very often thankfully. The appetite is coming back slowly but I've lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks. Me and DH are arguing a lot now, i think he's jealous already. Changed my profile pic, it's not a good one but it's the best I've got.

 

[drsquid]

Sheri- you post it the same way you'd usually post a pic but just put

Spoiler

around it. Second one gets a / in front of spoiler.

 

[Stinas]

oooo I cant wait to see pics!!!!!!!
I dont mind if you dont put spoiler...i love seeing all this stuff!

 

[aleja]

Hi girls I am loving the baby pics! It's lovely that you are all having your bubbas around the same time .
What are your due dates?

Sheri I totally get what you mean by going through the motions with the FETs. I feel like this right now. My FS doesn't want me to change anything for my next FET so I'm not expecting anything positive. I've even booked in a consultation with him in advance so I can see him after the cycle ends .

Honeycheeks how are you? When does your FET cycle start?

 

[noasaint]

Happy labor day everyone!!!

We told our parents last night, well actually showed them. Thought I'd share the pic we gave them in a frame that said "grandchildren are the best." MIL was completely shocked and barely had words. My mom was quiet. FIL was drunk (typical) so he wasn't much involved. MIL was sure to tell me we HAVE to pick a name with at an initial of a deceased family member to follow Jewish tradition. I was quick to tell her it won't be happening. LOL. They all want to know the gender the second we find out. But overall they are happy and excited and it went MUCH better than I had imagined. We announced on FB this morning. Lots of people very shocked.

Spoiler

many, many thanks to board member sarahincanada for helping me with the pic!

[drsquid]

aleja- im technically due march 5... but itll likely be in feb... put my most recent pic (last weds) in my sig and avatar

 

[Stinas]

noasaint - awww thats super cute!!

 

[aleja]

That's a great pic noasaint, what an exciting time for all your family

Re: Facebook why do you think ppl were shocked to hear your news ?
you guys must have done a great job of hiding the ttc

Drsquid , I guess it must be common for twins to be born earlier. They look big already !
Will you have a c-section or are you aiming for natural birth? I still can't fathom what it would be like with twins it must be magical

 

[sheri76]

Hi ladies

Noasaint, bummer about the MS hope it doesnt last long. love the pic, all of our family, friends & work mates know im pregnant but we havent said anything on facebook yet, might leave that for a few more weeks...

Drsquid the pics are great, how big is your twin bump?

Honey how are you?

I have my last week of meds this week & my bump has just started to poke out now the bloating has gone down a lil bit heres my 12 week scan pics one in 3d one normal, not the best quality pic i just took them wit my iphone, couldnt be bothered turning on the scanner

 

[noasaint]

Wow, some great scans!!! And 3D already??? I'm jealous of the pics. It seems mine never turn out good.

As for why people were shocked....most knew I could not have kids since I was told this when I was 24. Plus DH did not want kids and people knew that too. So when he changed his mind and we started seeing the RE we never told anyone since we didn't know how it would turn out.

Still not sleeping, always tired. But I've discovered baby likes ramen noodles.

MIL has told the entire world now, every relative imaginable has come out of the woodwork. Lol

 

[honeycheeks]

Hello ladies, im just back from my vacation. I feel really guilty for not having posted in a milliion years. I need to catch up on all your updates tomorrow after a good nights sleep.

 

[drsquid]

honey- welcome back

aleja- im going to try vaginal if A is head down. told my ob i woulndt fight a section if that was safer.

sheri- when i lie on my back i can def see it. i know my uterus is a bit above my navel. i still feel like i look more squishy than pregnnt but i feel better now that im working out again. tomrorow is 14 weeks so... belly pic time .at some point ill start sharing them i guess.

 

[Stinas]

Sheri - Great pics!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!!!

Honey - I hope you had an amazing trip!! You were missed!!! When is your FET?

 

[aleja]

Hi girls
Welcome back honey!

Noasaint, it was a good idea that you didn't tell anyone as it makes it extra special .
I am surprised that they would tell you at age 24 that you couldn't have kids???!!! What an insensitive thing to hear at that age. Well it just goes to show that doctors aren't always right

Sheri the photos are lovely .. Will you be finding out the gender in a few weeks?

Drsquid, I totally agree with the safest Possible birth . Is there any additional tests or monitoring that you need with twins?

 

[sheri76]

Noasaint I'm not sure I was supposed to have 3d scan as well but while we were waiting the lights tripped out & there was only 3 ladies working & they couldn't reach the power box in the store cupboard to flick the switch so I told my OH to stand up & show them how tall he is (he's 6"4) so he reset the switch, I think she gave us the 3d scan as a way of saying thanks I had my BT at 11 weeks & got the results about 15 mins after ultrasound.

Aleja we are going to find out the sex if we can, I left the decision to my OH as it's his first baby, my dd's are from my first marriage.

Welcome back honey hope you had a great time.

Drsquid can't wait to see a bump pic.
